    I originally was going to pass on this game until a good friend recommended it. I must admit that I was initially hooked and really enjoyed playing both solo and teaming up with my friend.

I must admit that I was initially hooked and really enjoyed playing both solo and teaming up with my friend. On the rare occasion that you encounter another player, nobody has attacked me. In fact, most players want to team up or trade. I've even been revived by other players who just happened to be in the area. The map is gigantic and was exciting to explore at first, but the game quickly becomes a boring, repetitive slog with minimal challenge. I give Bethesda credit for trying this experiment, but Fallout76 fails as a RPG and as a FPS. They might have been hoping that players would team up and battle other teams- and perhaps that happens, but I haven't experienced that. Scrounging is an essential component for Fallout- and there's plenty of it, but it really sucks when you're exploring a new area and you realize that another player had been there recently and already took everything and killed everything. There are a number of public events that you can join, but after I did an event once, I found little motivation to do it again. There are also Daily, Weekly, and Character Challenges that reward Atom Points which can be spent in the Atomic Shop. While it's easy to rack up Atom points, everything in the store is purely cosmetic. You can also purchase Atom points, but who would spend more money on Atom points when there's nothing but costumes, Photomode Poses, profile icons, emoticons, and a variety of superficial junk you can use in your CAMP? It's logical to deduce that Bethesda intended to offer player "advantages" in this shop (i.e. weapons, armor, Perks) but I guess it would've been too obvious that Fallout76 was never really meant to be a challenging, fun multiplayer experience; sadly in the end, it was just a cash grab.… Expand

    Enjoying the game when it comes to combat, would've enjoyed it more if it wasn't so buggy with teammates going invisible after fast travel/entering buildings, t-posing enemies and more.
    Still enjoy coming back to the game even if it can be lackluster, jumping around doing events is the only thing driving now.
    Hoping things will get fixed and that the dlcs will be worthwhile.

    From day one the game was as buggy as heck, the worst I have ever seen but I was willing to put up with it for a while. There is no story, no end game and not a lot to do other than very repetitive "go here & find this" missions but often the glitches in the game meant having to repeat the mission as you didn't get the reward. This is a perfect example of how NOT to make a game.

    Following a server crash in early December I have now been unable to connect to the servers for 2 months & Bethesda support has been useless & often going in little circles. Every update I am sent back to square one with the customer support or told to ask the retailer for a new game code as Bethesda are not responsible for issues with codes purchased through a third party.
    The Game is awful & should be pulled, the customer service is worse. In order to get a refund I am now seeking legal advice as the game is not fit for purpose, is not as originally advertised & does not meet the promises made by Bethesda over graphics quality. The gaming engine is the same as fallout 3 & is very outdated, Bethesda are trying to milk a cow that died years ago.
    Avoid the game unless you like wasting money.    … Expand

    Where to even begin with this abomination? Lag ridden servers, constant (and I do mean CONSTANT) disconnects, crashes, rubber banding, audio glitches, power armor glitches, gun glitches, weapon wheel selection glitches, pip boy black screen, lighting glitches, hilarious animation glitches and freezing.

Lag ridden servers, constant (and I do mean CONSTANT) disconnects, crashes, rubber banding, audio glitches, power armor glitches, gun glitches, weapon wheel selection glitches, pip boy black screen, lighting glitches, hilarious animation glitches and freezing. Loot is level locked, constantly breaking and you'll be farming vegetables to make glue constantly as a result. No human NPC's, no story, "public events" that glitch out and fail or pass you at random. And that's just one session.

    Graphically I think it looks good in 4k. Obviously some of the texture detail up close looks like crap but overall its an upgrade imo. Multiple "stability" patches later and the game can barely handle a party of 4. Mostly a mix of new players and day one vets (most of whom grief the newbies out of boredom. GG Bethesda). PvP is set up in a way that actually encourages griefing and regularly happens between a lvl 100+ and a lvl 20 (and damaged is NOT normalized). Its mind blowing how naive Bethesda is about how people play online games.

    The gameplay loop is fun but the online aspect of it simple does not work on any front be it technically, gameplay or design and execution. No Todd, it, it just doesn't work.    … Expand

    Remember Mass Effect: Andromeda and how big of a disaster that was? Fallout 76 is Bethesda's equivalent to that. First off, anyone giving this game more than a 5 is **** braindead.

I always had the greatest respects for Bethesda for creating massive worlds with easily 100's of hours of stuffRemember Mass Effect: Andromeda and how big of a disaster that was? Fallout 76 is Bethesda's equivalent to that. First off, anyone giving this game more than a 5 is **** braindead. Some backstory, though before we dive in.. I've been a Bethesda fan boy since Morrowind. MORROWIND. I always had the greatest respects for Bethesda for creating massive worlds with easily 100's of hours of stuff to do and accomplish. Fallout 3 will forever remain my favorite Bethesda title for bringing a post-apocalyptic setting to life so well. However, Fallout 76 is where Bethesda ends for me. It feels like I got slapped across the face by Todd Howard's flaccid dick based on how big of a disappointment this game is.

    PROS:
    There are a few new weapon/enemy variations that spices the game up from the typical Fallout formula. That's it for pros.

    CONS:
    This game feels like a horribly ported mod for Fallout 4. It LITERALLY feels like an online mod for Fallout 4. There is absolutely nothing new besides the above listed. I can't describe how disappointing this experience was. I grinded nonstop hoping at some point that the game would get better. Hell, I hit LEVEL 110 AND IT WAS STILL GARBAGE.

    The online doesn't work art all. Seeing Zenimax (the guys who did ESO: Online) it's shocking that they could make a much bigger game like ESO work but not Fallout. Granted, there are at least 10 studios that worked on this game which may be the main reason why it ended up as such a disaster. The graphics are exactly the same as Fallout 4. God rays come out of the f'ing ground (good job Todd). It still has the same old signature Bethesda textures where everything looks like ass up close. It also has BUGS FROM FALLOUT 4. Modders in Fallout 4 LITERALLY MADE A PATCH TO STOP BUGS IN FALLOUT 4. YET THOSE SAME BUGS GOT PORTED TO FALLOUT 76 UNPATCHED. At this point, I feel the modding community should own the rights to Fallout being that they do a better job than Bethesda's devs.

    Now let's talk story. There is none. Okay, there is. But it sucks. You just go around the map, pick up holotapes. Done. That's it. There are ZERO human NPC's. This is Fallout 76's biggest downfall because NPC's are what bring the world to life. But because of Todd's terrible misdirection to make YOU, the player the NPC (no one acts like that).. we end up with this shallow, empty, soulless, obvious cash grab by Bethesda.

    I loved Bethesda ever since I discovered Morrowind. I considered Fallout 4 a low point in their work because the story fell short for me but mod support reassured me that it was a good game because mods fixed a lot of what was broken in Fallout 4. However, Fallout 76, I hope remains on a **** list forever as an example as to what not to do when you decide to become a game dev. I don't know what to say, Bethesda. You **** it up.

    I wouldn't even recommend this game if it was $20. The price has already dropped to $35-$40 and I feel cheated because I paid a full AAA $60. Thanks, dark souls.    … Expand

The world is interesting, and can be beautiful, but that doesn't save this game. Too many problems already exist. Even now with most of the bugs fixed, there are fundamental problems with design of the game. With a Fallout game, we expect to have choices, to make meaningful decisions, but this option does not exist here. There aren't any human NPCs, and there aren't any options for dialogue. Theoretically this was supposed to be made up for by interacting with other players, but it just doesn't work in the way that it should.

The stash limit also becomes a liability when you run out of room to stash your gear because of all the junk you've collected. The amount of bugs & glitches are just ridiculous, and unacceptable for a AAA title.

    Above all, it just feels like an unfinished game, and I guess that's partially true. But it feels like it was rushed through development so as to be released in time for the holidays. This game had so much potential, and still does. But Bethesda has yet to show us that they have the ability to utilize it. I'm giving this a 6 to be generous, in hopes that it somehow manages to pull a No Man's Sky on us. In other words, come back and play this game a year from now.    … Expand

    First of all, the graphics and performance have to be the best I have and ever will see. The game looks so, so, SO amazingly perfect, that when I started to play games like Red Dead 2, Spider-Man PS4, and even Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, they all made my eyes hurt due to how unbelievably good Fallout 76 looks. Plus, even with it's holy grail graphics, Bethesda somehow made this game run at a locked 60 FPS with 0 glitches. Woah.

    The story is absolutely amazing(I'm not the spoiler type), the gameplay is addicting and nearly flawless, and the open world...OH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fallout 76's world has by far the best use of space ever conceived in a video game. The sheer amount of stuff to do is insane. And to the people whining about the lack of human NPCs, let me just say: human NPCs were TRASH in the previous games, ESPECIALLY in New Vegas, AKA the worst Fallout game.

    All in all, I'd give this game a 76 out of 10. By far the best use of code since the glorious Cory in the House on DS.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Background - gamer for life since the 90's. I've played Bethesda titles since Morrowind and fallout 3 to this one.

    The good: This is a fine game, much like Ark, DayZ and other salvage / craft / build games. I like the systems in place to prevent griefing, and being randomly off'ed by other players - that takes something from the game that was good drama though. As a casual player, I'm happily missing it. the CAMP concept prevents situations in ark and other games where players fill the map and make it in accessible. It feels more fresh than other MMO's - I don't have to deal with feeling that I don't make any impact or the quests are non-nonsensically repeated (you can only kill someone once!) - quests like repeated supply drops or feeding the people just make sense as dailys.

    [SOME SPOILERS]

    The bad - it glitches, I get T pose and sometimes it crashes, like once per session... that sucks. Lag rarely has led to me getting screwed in combat though, pretty equal to the boning that happens when playing other games of this type.

    Criticism of negativity towards this game:
    THIS IS A 'SOFTCORE' SURVIVAL GAME IN THE FALLOUT UNIVERSE - IT IS A DIFFERENT GAME TYPE

    People are super upset about the deviation in formula, but if you take it at face value as a survival game it is fine in my opinion.

    I can see how it deviates from Fallout - but I don't know how they could of done better with multiplayer fallout. Would people be that more happy to have NPC people standing in place giving quests versus robots? I guess. And the lore of this - its 20 years after the bombs! and, the whole deal of the quest (spoilers) is that beasts have killed all the survivors of the nuclear attacks proper.

    Overall, I'm getting my 60 bucks worth with my nice base, main quest, and the friends I'm making (who are playing an awful lot despite all the **** :D )    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you liked Fallout 4 for the missions and crafting, you should like this game. I have been playing it non-stop since I bought it and I love it! There ARE problems... you will bet get disconnected from the server sometimes; however, it will put you right back where you were with everything you had. If you were "inside" a quest site, it will put you outside.

    I have the regular XBOX One and I don't experience or really notice that much lag or frame degradation - perfectly playable.

    There are no NPC's, but a huge part of Fallout 4 used tapes and robots to move the story along, so it isn't that bad. I think they did a good job with telling the stories and integrating everything. So, there are a lot of quests with multiple parts that I found very interesting.

    I play alone, but I often interact with others. We trade things from time to time; I help people who get killed when I find them; and I work with others to complete missions. I am NOT part of a group with them, but simply working together at the same time. I keep the sound of others off and never hear them. There ARE a few grievers out there. I feel sorry for them as they don't know how to interact normally with people - bless their hearts! Be sure you set your settings so you don't accidentally
    shoot them, and you can ignore them for the session. You can also just log off and log back on.

    What I enjoy most is that there is a sense of danger to the world. For example, I was about level 12 and walking along a very quiet and nice highway. I noticed a couple of eyes quite a bit ways up ahead of me and hit my V.A.T.S. to see what it was -- it was a Level 35 Mothman!! Yikes! I took a different route. This reminded me so much of SKYRIM and walking right into a Dragon one time that was just randomly sitting on the road. Don't worry about the leveling though; if you follow the main quest line, you will find things appropriate to your level. You will also find some things you aren't ready for, so stay alert!

    They have fixed quite a few of the things that were initially a problem in the beta. They increased the storage to 600 lbs. To be honest, managing that is kind of fun and it's a part of the game; you don't actually need all that stuff!! You will find it all over and find it very quickly. The monster spawning is now just about right; I finish areas all the time way before they re-spawn again. When someone else enters the area, the monsters DO come back, but the other person is there to help clean things up. Just work together for a bit and then keep on truckin'.

    I gave the game a 10 based on whether I want to play it non-stop or not. I can't wait to get back to the game and find some more cool gear or just wander around aimlessly and seeing what happens next. You can't go very far before you either find something or something finds you!    … Expand

Ban you from using a product you paid for. A product you DID NOT misused. And ask you to write a **** schoolyard essay about why you are a bad person in their eyes.

In the case of Fallout 76 I am inclined to agree with the masses, the game is quite frankly dreadful. As high as our expectations are of the holders of the sacred Fallout universe, so are the new lows achieved by this production.

    From the clunky design logic to the tedious game-play, I cannot fathom a rescue for this title. Glitches are no longer a source of humor when they utterly and completely destroy the experience at large. MP for the sake of MP is absurd. “Misery loves company” is not a valid game experience platform. From the very start, it seems to be a beta posing as a final release. The producers are more or less demanding 100% dollars for 25% game.

    As a manager of software development teams I can assure you that multiple trains went off of numerous rails during the FO76 SDLC. I would surely love to see the integration test construct that was utilized (or wasn’t as the case may be). Does anybody at Bethesda understand UX? Clearly bad decisions were made from one end of the spectrum to the other. Most often, abysmal failures can turn into great opportunities. BGS has produced top-notch products in the past, here’s hoping they return to what made them great.    … Expand

These are not strengths of Fallout 76, especially the later. It's glitchy, it has crashed twice in 5 (long) play sessions, and the look of it isn't quite right yet - but these will be fixed in the coming months. Those things are all great, but I play Fallout for the atmosphere. These games have been so excellent at creating, through visuals, music, and geopgraphic innovations, the perfect desolate post-apocalyptic wasteland and that remains one of the biggest strengths of this game and why I've enjoyed playing it so much. The map is simply huge (and actually the map screen is kind of gorgeous) and there are so many fun adventures to get into. I have mostly playing pretty solo, but that actually adds to the desolate solitary atmosphere of armageddon. I've frankly had a blast playing this game and I'm very glad I ignored the majority of the negative criticism of the game. People are generally writing reviews for themselves instead of for other gamers. If the stuff I mentioned up top is important to you, I recommend you don't buy this game now until they've fixed some of the glaring technical issues. You'll be frustrated. If you want a sprawling, atmospheric, action-packed post-apocalyptic experience that you can choose to share with friends and strangers, give the game a chance. It's kind of a blast.… Expand

    It is NOT fashionable to hate this game, it is logical. There is bad press for a reason.

    Graphics have NOT been improved upon, this feels like the graphics from an Xbox 360 and frame rate drops into an unplayable mess every other minute. (Look up F076 frame rate tests).

    The "Quests" are given to you via Holotape (audio recording) and Terminal entries (text to read on in game computer). There are no NPCs, so interactive dialogue is out of the window. These quests are all the same; stumble across a tape/terminal, go to the waypoint the tape/terminal tells you to goto and kill the enemies. QUEST COMPLETE. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Most of the time, the enemies are exactly the same and not interesting.

    The world doesn't change. You can goto an area, clear out the enemies and set up a camp. After you wander off or log out and come back, ALL of the enemies will be there and attack you. It feels like you as the player, make absolutely no impact to the world around you. Which, kind of is the point, isn't it..? "When the fallout clears and the doors open, you must rebuild." (Paraphrase).

    Camp items are all locked, you need to discover recipes for a chair/bed/door/turrets etc. Which doesn't sound bad, but they are very difficult to come across. THEN you need to actually source the resourced to build the item like in Fallout 4. The items should not have been locked, resource gathering would have been enough. This makes camp building extremely slow and not in a fun way, which was annoying because it was one of my more enjoyable elements of Fallout 4. (Also, you cannot raid player bases, neither do they show up on the map unless you have them in your team.)

    For information on bugs, just YouTube Fallout 76 bugs, you'll see for yourself.

    Multiplayer is clunky and PvP is completely broken. On paper, the anti-griefer system looks great, However, in-game it is horrific and doesn't work. Imagine there is someone in your camp stealing your food or blocking your door, you shoot them. if they don't shoot you back and engage in combat, you can not kill them unless you stand there and shoot them with 100 shotgun rounds one at a time (Providing they don't heal).

    Playing this game solo is impossibly boring, there is nothing to keep you emotionally engaged or to motivate you to progress.

    If you are having fun in this game with your friends, fair enough. But let me ask you this, has there ever been an open world multiplayer that you and your friends haven't had fun in? Don't get confused with where the fun is coming from, your personalities or the game.

    Even as a long-time Fallout fan, this is honestly the worst game purchase I have ever made. I have played the game for approximately 40 hours now and not one of those hours were fun. It was more about me trying to justify the £60 I had spent and slowly realising what an awful mistake I had made.

    SAVE YOUR MONEY. This game will not get good enough with updates to warrant the amount of money this costs, it should be a free-to-play add-on to Fallout 4. An example of what should have been done with this is how Rockstar implement Online into Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, not charge full game price for what is basically a map expansion with no content in it.

    PURCHASING THIS GAME ENCOURAGES LAZY GAME MANUFACTURING IN THE FUTURE. MAKE A STATEMENT AND GET THE GAMING INDUSTRY BACK ON TRACK. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS LEVEL OF CONTENT AFTER THREE YEARS OF PRODUCTION TIME FROM A TRIPLE A STUDIO WITH A MASSIVE BUDGET. DON'T GET MANIPULATED BY PRETTY MARKETING.

I was there, but I got the game and dove in and have no regrets. My original favorite game is Wasteland on the AppleII. When I first saw Fallout (1) on a shelf, I got it and played way too much on a computer barely able to run it. I have played every Fallout game at launch, and the franchise has a special place in my heart, despite studio changes.

    I can understand why most reviews are so poor-- our culture of convenience has filled most people with an undeserved sense of complacent entitlement. Look closer at this franchise entry itself : it has an amazing setting with an incredibly detailed environment. The enemy design and animations are first-rate. The sound, both environmental and incidental, are awesome. The controls are intuitive and easy to master. The game mechanics are deep and intriguing. The crafting system is character-life-saving. I love designing and maintaining my camp, with noone imploring me to go save another settlement, and then popping the head off of a super mutant with one perfectly placed shot.

    There are no human npcs currently. So what? This is an online survival grind, and it is at the top of its class. The missions and quests currently in the game are well written and a pleasure to pursue. Interaction online with other humans can be as in-depth or hermitly as you desire. Exploring the backstory of the Fallout mythos has been, and is an ongoing, blast. Bethesda Fallout games are about world design and game mechanics. Anyone playing a Bethesda game for the narrative needs to critically re-examine their expectations. The narrative exists only to drive exploration, and Fallout 76 already has the exploration niche covered.

    Most poor reviews seem to be about missed expectations. A product needs to be judged on its own merits. On its own merits, Fallout 76 has been the most fun I've had in a Fallout game since the original. I enjoy the challenge of surviving every day on my own personal merits, with no hand-holding, and relish emerging from an hours-long schlog through a pre-fall ruin with a bag full of schwag and resources.

    I have been dropped from servers a few times, and the game has frozen a few times, but that is the nature of an MMORPG, which this is. This is not like previous single-player Fallout entries, and expectations must be tailored.

    If you are still on the fence, please give the game a chance. If someday some quiet hermit passes by and drops you a bag of plans and recipes, it's probably me. If you've already abandoned the ruins, it just means more battered clipboards and desk fans for me.    … Expand

But this game is a mess, plain and simple, anyone who disagrees is just a hardcore Fallout fan who doesn't want to admit it and I understand as I used to stand by World of Warcraft till Warlords of Draenor....
    But it is overly buggy, rendering is atrocious and the story is from dull to non-existent... The way the game runs is laggy, buggy, rendering is terrible even on a decent speed computer and the fact that the textures and look close up isn't much better than Fallout 4 worries me. Most of the textures and items had been copied over from the Fallout 4.
    The game itself... The skeleton is there and I can see its potential, I hm not just here to **** all over the game, there is promise. The story is boring, not engaging and short, the side quests aren't very exciting and make me not care for the characters or lack there of... I think that the game could really benefit from NPCs, maybe add them into a DLC where they come from another vault. The format and the way the game plays seems not player friendly and rushed.
    [I do like the new camera system, the idea of the field of view, the attempt at lighting and other experimental features... Also the nuke idea and the new monster are cool]

    Overall I can't believe I took the risk and bought this full price, I am in shock and only play now because I feel I have to get my moneys worth.

    I've been playing Fallout since the very first one and have played every other that followed. Fallout 76 kinda makes me feel like the franchise is dead and it may not be coming back. Bethesda and the powers that be, have basically ruined everything that makes the world of fallout great. This game in my opinion, is simply unacceptable. RIP Fallout.

Now with the review...

    Fallout 76 is such a terrible abomination that shouldn't have been released in the state it is/was. Buggy, visually displeasing worse than Fallout 4 and the frame rate is the worst I've ever seen in video games for awhile. The world is void of life, PvP is pointless and the servers or what Bethesda call "dedicated servers" are awful and have took me out of the game many times. Quests are just fetchfests with no meaning or cause and there's no story in this game at all. No NPC's just crappy holotapes that no one focuses on. This game is just a shamble and shouldn't be £49.99 at this stage of it's development. It should be more half that if not £20 early access garbage that creeps around lately. I have nothing good to sat about this game. Bethesda need to innovate and either update their game engine or make a new one as their games look like things (Apart from F04) from PS3/X360 era. Developers need to stop shipping half finished games, then promise to fix the problems within 1-2 years when most of the player base has moved on. We want the product we're promised and support on day 1 then you may have the right to bring DLC/expansions to add game time. Players deserve more when the fact developers are able to make video games in the first place or sequels is thanks to the consumers.

Its buggy, but the bugs are definitely getting fixed. It is less like a fallout game in the sense that there are no human npcs, but more like a fallout game in that the world seems more grim, harsh and genuinely post-apocalyptic without them. This review will probably get a lot of "not-helpful" votes for going against the hive-mind, but the truth is its a fun game to play, lots to explore, survival is fun, tons of weapons and things to do and craft, and much more interesting lore and mysteries than you would expect from all the 0 reviews.… Expand

It kind of reminds me more of Asheron's Call- exploration and staking area claims over any set story or overlying series of mandatory quests.

    For me, I was not thrilled with this game the first day with the hunger, thirst and constant shortage of wood and resources while having heavy radiation poisoning with no Rad Away(s). However, all of that is quickly minor once in a few days and you explore. *SPOILER* You can set up camp right next to a farm and cook up 100 corn soups in twenty minutes of efforts that will keep you fed AND hydrated for days of play, with certain perk cards even longer. The further you progress and level, the less and less the annoyances of this game become, by design. Started out is a chore and then it quickly became fun (for me). Encountering other players has been a positive experience (for the most part on XBox). I solo but sometimes join a pickup group at one of the many active quest locations. I do not care to PvP yet so I enjoy giving people wanted tags when they want to persist to annoy, one day, I will be hunting them. Of course, some feel otherwise and hate this PvP system which I also understand. Again, no game will ever please everyone, each game is for a niche audience.

    The reason I am not giving this game a 10 are the bugs. I cannot use power armor because my character is bugged which is major. You can't text chat and can either open mic or no mic/no hear. Camp randomly has to be reset sometimes which is very minor. Crashing after a death when loaded with junk is annoying but minor. Also, soloing is heavily penalized by way of groups getting full exp and loot from each kill they tag. And, grouping with friends allows one to overcome the ridiculous storage limit of 400 in your storage chest. It is hard to find your instance if you want to try and solo mule and drop items to an alt. You will quickly reach max storage even throwing out all worthless garbage, meaning discarding valuable resources you may well need later. So, a lot of early looting, scrapping, storing and eventually just throwing away. Somewhat pointless. With the perk cards, the perfect mule can be made, hopefully one day we can also have a shared storage chest amongst all characters so soloers can also mule as people can easily via their friends to alts. And, yes the graphics are dated and the game is still largely empty and full of the same items and baddies, just altered a bit-

    All said, I'm just having a blast playing it, moreso than any other MMO to date and I expect lots more to be added and fixed by the next expansion.    … Expand

Fans and Bethesda say they're gonna fix something, all I can say is by god they better.

    The graphics, my lord the graphics. Bethesda really tried to act like Fallout 76 was gonna make GTA 5 look like damn Super Mario 64. Spoiler alert, it's basically the same as Fallout 4. I'm not one to care much about graphics, but this is Bethesda! At least make this games graphics look better than the last one like every other company does.

    And look, if you're bored from Fallout 4, hate to say it, but 76 doesn't have much more to offer. Yes, there is multiplayer and nukes to launch, though other than that, that's the only thing I really think of that stands out from 4. Though if you're missing Fallout 4, you want to jump into the wasteland again, this may be something to consider trying.

    (Small spoiler alert, skip to next paragraph to avoid)
    Alright the story: don't expect much. From what I played it's about the overseer (leader) of the vault trying to pick up some research about the "Scorched", victims the mysterious disease infecting West Virginia. It's alright. Though I wish they kept NPCs for this, instead of throwing a bunch of damn pieces of plastic around, or holotapes as known, where you hear them but not see them. It gets boring over time and it feels more lonely than intriguing.

    There are a couple of things I liked about the game overall though. Fallout 4 had the most depressing and gloomy map I've ever seen. That was what deserves the title "Fifty Shades of Gray". But in 76, there so much colour around the map, from the dark gloomy land of mines Ash Heap to the white and snowy Toxic Valley with amusement parks. This games colours and map really is fun to explore and sightsee.

    Overall, this game has its problems no doubt. But overall it feels like an ordinary Fallout game, just with a few changes that weren't pleasing.    … Expand

    I give this an 8 out of 10 due to the expanse of the new world and the possibilities to come.    … Expand

    This game should have been delayed until it was properly finished. Instead, Bethesda released a half finished game to the ire of everybody who paid full price for it. It is a chore to play, and I recommend you save your money.

    Fun at first, but so many broken elements to the game kills it for me. High-level areas have bullet sponge enemies that can take an armor penetrating round to the head (no armor) without dying. So many things broken in this game, I don't know where to start. Worst insult to this franchise I've ever seen. Save your money and get Fallout 3, New Vegas, or even Fallout 4.

    Bad graphics, no npc’s, boring combat, poor AI, bugs, the world’s empty. Disgrace to the series and nobody should have to suffer through this game.

    Fallout 76 is a bug filled attempt at a multiplayer game by Bethesda game studio. It's a early access title at best, at this time. I hope they do fix this.

    I’ve played fallout 3, new Vegas, and 4. I love fallout. Fallout 76 is garbage plain and simple. I do not find it fun at all. From the pain in the but drink and eat you have to maintain to ammo weight. The bugs are also horrible.
    Bethesda let us down on this one

    I'm having huge buyer's remorse for this. And they don't accept refund now!! What a shame... This game clearly shows what greed can do once great RPG game studio. Shame on you Bethesda.

Za potlesku sprosté optimalizace jen nevěřícně koukáte, jak nikdo ze zúčastněných absolutně netuší, kde nechala atomovka kráter. A Pip-Boy vám to rozhodně neřekne.… Expand

    I started playing Fallout 76 and left Red Dead 2. The freedom I have on the quests is the differential for me, something I do not have with Red Dead 2. Some glitches made me very upset.

The glitches therefore have solutions. Fascinating this game. I'm on level 45 and more and more excited. Goodbye Red Dead 2.… Expand

    Bethesda must have developed this game in a vacuum without any consideration to the core elements that made the Fallout franchise a player favorite. If you couple the lack of historical fan favorite elements with the overburdened glitches, then you end up with a live launch that should have been relegated to early stage Beta, at best.

Additionally, I appreciate the whole social platform, but I hate being forced to subscribe to Xbox Live just to play the game. It should have a solo / unplugged option which would satisfy players like me, and cure most of Bethesda's "server issue" plague that haunts the game.… Expand

    Nothing to say about this THING. WHAT A SHAME.
    One of the worst multiplayer game ever made.
    All those positive reviews are FAKE, just to encourage them to make something serious.
    Now I'm worried about TES VI.

    This game is full of Bugs, Graphics are so outdated. The server is dropping all the time and the NPC's are so broken and brain dead. I will be playing fallout 4 instead. with Fallout 76 I have played hours and I am so bored and having no Fun. Please avoid this game like the plague. 1/10

    But it’s hard to feel as if you’re truly affecting the world when there are no NPCs to express satisfaction or disdain, or to be directly influenced by your actions. Even killing feels hollow. Some of my best battles in Fallout 4 came when I stumbled across an outpost and found there a raider in there; he’d yell and scream at me as we were facing off. The Scorched, while armed, feel like nothing more than zombies.

    The addition of multiplayer feels as though it comes at the expense of Fallout’s memorable story-driven moments. What good is a vast map full of players if they're given little to no purpose? When no other players are around, the game’s world feels almost empty. The attention-grabbing locales and landmarks add to Appalachia's charm, but it's difficult to not wish for living, breathing characters to inhabit it. Post-apocalyptic West Virginia is described as a wasteland, and this term paints an inadvertent but accurate picture of what Fallout 76 is right now.

    If you enjoy multiplayer games of this type and are willing to overlook the engine anomalies, you may find yourself rapidly addicted to the game's exploration density and loot systems. If you're easily frustrated by bugs and issues, you may want to sit tight a bit to see what Bethesda does to polish things up, cus oh boy, it could use a bit right now. If you're a fan of the single player, branching narrative the series is known for, you'll want to wait for Fallout 5.
